I have shin bones

I do daycare for a living and one my little ones who is 2 pushed on my shin bone and said, "What's that?" I laughed. It's something you have never felt on me before, huh?

Most EXCELLENT!!!!

Karen, isn't it an awesome feeling to see those bones that have been hidden for so long. My husband tells me my wrists, arms and feet are looking boney. Just another little blessing on this amazing journey.

AWSOME! way to go! the changes in our bodies is so amazing. I've noticed that my knees hurt when I lie in bed on my side and have my legs on top of each other and the bones rest on each other instead of having that nice layer of fat. I have to use a pillow between my legs now. So wierd! Do you have that?

How funny you say that. That was the first thing I noticed when I started to really see my weight loss. I was sitting watching tv still recovering from my open rny and I looked down to see my shin bones. Something I had not seen in years. I said the exact same thing. "Hey I can see my shin bones." My father thought that was the funniest thing and has told so many people since then. It feels great. to see the thinner legs and arms. My son noticed my fingers are much thinner, not to mention it's time to go get my high school class ring re-sized. It's spinning around my finger and I am afraid I will lose it. Just so you know how longs it's been since my fingers have been this thin. I graduated from high school 20 years ago. Finally my fingers are smaller than they were in highschool. Great job everyone..

That's funny Karen! Along those lines my postop sister made a doc appt because she had some weird protrusion sticking out of her chest area. Well her pc smiled real big (kind enough not to laugh) and said, "That's your collar bone!" The first place I noticed my weight loss was my fingers. I loved to just sit there and lace my fingers together and feel the bones... just because I could
